Edith Piaf

Edith Piaf CDs and Downloads on Arkadia Chansons     The critic Jean Cocteau said that Edith Piaf was like the nightingale, who when he sings "...throws everything into confusion." To Cocteau, his friend Piaf was a force of nature, a chanteuse with the evocative power of falling rain, sighing breezes or the moonlight that envelops the world of the night. She was brave, gallant and tender -- much like the legionnaires of whom she sang -- but there was a haunting element of childlike sadness in every Piaf performance, a constant reminder of the stark unhappiness of her life away from the music halls and recording studios. Piaf herself admitted as much, explaining that in singing she "cried without tears."      Piaf made her first records for Polydor in 1936 and continued her work in the studios throughout her career, eventually working for French Decca and French Columbia, among others. It was Piaf's recordings that first brought her name to the United States, where she made her debut at the Playhouse in October 1947, beginning a love affair with the American public that lasted until her death. Forty thousand attended her burial at Pere Lachaise. Within days of her death, there were no Piaf recordings in the shops of Paris...all had been bought by the grieving fans. As Cocteau said in final tribute to her shortly before his own death, "Her great voice will not be lost."

Arkadia Chansons is proud to offer three distinctive CDs (with corresponding Downloads) which showcase why Edith Piaf is the defining voice of 20th Century France.
